Chapter 63: Injured

Su Ruan woke up with a jolt.

Her forehead was sweating and her breathing was erratic. Su Ruan pulled both knees to her chest and buried her face into them.

A deep frown appeared on her face as she tried to recall her dreams but she could not remember anything. All she knew was that this time, it was not the same dreams that she usually had.

It took her a while to calm down. Su Ruan stretched her hand to grab her phone on the side table. A deep sigh escaped her when she saw the time.

Ever since she came to this town, she would often get up from her sleep around the same time. Perhaps, her biological clock was getting used to waking up this early.

Taking a deep breath, Su Ruan climbed down her bed and walked over to the window.

Each night that she woke up at a time like this, Su Ruan like to walk to the window and to feel the cold wind while watching the night scenery.

She pushed the window and looked at the moon and stars. No matter how many times she had watched this scene, Su Ruan thought that she would never get tired of this view.

It seemed that she had made the right decision when she decided to return to this town. After staying in the city for years, being in a small town like this made her feel more at peace.

The scenery was good and the air was fresh. She no longer has to rush around to get to work or face her annoying boss.

The cold wind blew to her face, making her shiver. Just as Su Ruan was about to close the window and return to the bed, her eyes caught sight of something in the sky.

Su Ruan rubbed her eyes and tried to focus on what she was seeing.

From a distance, Su Ruan could hear a soft puffing sound. And just like that, the shadow she saw in the sky plunged down.

Su Ruan stood at the window for a long time, unable to react. She was still having a hard time believing what she had seen with her eyes.

The thing that had fallen from the sky… what was it?

A lot of thought went into her mind but Su Ruan still could not guess what she had just seen.

Su Ruan snapped out of her trance and closed the window. She went back to her bed, intending to get more sleep.

However, as soon as she pulled the blanket over her body, Su Ruan had a nagging feeling that she should not be sleeping.

Her mind kept on thinking about the scene she had seen just now.

After pondering over this matter for a while, Su Ruan jumped out of her bed. Putting on a thick jacket and grabbing her phone, she then left her room quietly.

"Su Ruan, are you sure that this is a good idea?" She mumbled to herself.

Even though she knew well that it would be safer to stay inside the house, her instinct was telling her that she should go out and look at what happened.

Taking a deep breath, she snuck out of the house and headed to the orchard, to the place where she had seen that thing fall.

…

Long Fei groaned lowly in anger.

His heart would not stop muttering some cursing words as he thought of how he had fallen for this trap. 

When he entered the mountain and encountered the group of people, Long Fei was only planning to scare them to leave the mountain and never come again. He and the others before him had pulled this trick quite a few times and they had always worked.

It was dark at night and the others could not see anything clearly. The workers would think that they had encountered a giant snake and escaped.

Then, they would ask someone to spread some superstitious story and convinced them that they had angered the mountain's keeper.

After witnessing the slithering creature coming at them, the workers would be convinced.

However, Long Fei did not expect that this time, the group had brought along someone from that troublesome group.

Ever since he was a little boy, Long Fei would often hear from his grandfather and parents that he needed to be careful not to reveal himself.

There was a group outside who loved creatures like him and wanted to kill him for money. The elders often reminded him that if he was caught by this group, then he could only wait for his death.

The moment he saw that old man, coming out from the tent, Long Fei knew that he had fallen for his trick. This was not the first time that they have met. Long Fei always knew that this old man was leading a group to catch creatures such as him.

That vicious old man had brought along some equipment that would make it easier for them to hurt him and weakened him.

Long Fei had no other choice but to escape. However, he should not panic and fly up. Because of that, he was shot and had suffered greatly. Because of his injury, he could not shift to another form.

Initially, Long Fei was planning to return to the lake. The water had a magical power for the Long family and he could heal faster if he plunged into the water.

But thinking that there would be a few people waiting for him to enter the water, Long Fei quickly made a turn.

At this time, the only thing that could heal him was to get closer to Su Ruan. As the woman's face appeared in his mind, Long Fei sneakily entered slithered into the orchard. But before he could reach closer to Su Ruan, his body was unable to take it anymore and he fell to the ground.

Long Fei could only stay there and prayed that Long Yu Heng would come quickly to save him. Otherwise, if their enemy found him first, then everything would be chaotic.

If the group knew who he was and get his family, then, everyone, whether they have this power or not, will be killed.

Leaning on the shady tree behind him, Long Fei closed his eyes, to bear with the pain. Su Ruan's image came to his mind. At a time like this, he was longing to see her.

The sounds of footsteps snapped him out of his thought. Long Fei bare his teeth and looked in the direction where the sound had come from.

If the old man or his apprentices came to catch him, then, he will fight them to death.

However, as the sounds of footsteps got closer, Long Fei began to lower his guard. His nose picked up the scent of someone familiar.

Just as he thought that it would be impossible for Su Ruan to appear at this place, the woman came out from behind the trees.
